Elton John hosted a rocking Oscar bash to benefit his AIDS Foundation at West Hollywood Park on Sunday.

The highlight was a performance by Scottish rocker Emeli Sande that had guests on their feet dancing.

During the Oscar viewing party, guests bid on such items as a five-day holiday at Steven Tyler’s Hawaiian retreat that went for $250,000, a Chopard timepiece and a private bash at Soho House with a “Great Gatsby” screening for 40.

John threw in four private perfs that went for $250,000 each. He later told the crowd the evening raised an unprecedented $6 million.

“It’s almost become a status event on Oscar night … and gives us an opportunity to raise more money and make more people aware” of AIDS, John said.

Co-host David Furnish said, “Awareness is still important because we are fighting to balance the stigma of the disease with medical advancements.”
